Roosevelt Men Will Please Throw Their Hats In The Ring and Answer These Questions. Does Mr. Roosevelt recognize there Is a money trust iu this nation which controls commerce and holds the mortgage shackled farmer and wago earner as Us slave? Has he investigated the cause of the financial panic of 1907, during his last administration which caused financial lo3s of millions of dollars? Does he mean the Wall street people or the laboring people shall rule? Is ho ready to explain the giant steel merger which he permitted in l9o7 and in which the promoter alone received twenty million dollars bonus? Will he explain soon to the public why thut same promoter is now ono tho chief promoters of his campaign? The Omaha promoter of tho Roosevelt eampalgu is insisting on J. E. Baum and J. W. Towle as the Roosevelt delegates from tho Second Nebraska district. Baum Is the head of the Uaum Iron and Steel Wholesale company, and Towle Is shown by the Omaha directory to bo president of a steel bridge company and of a wholesale iron and steel compauy. Are these selections dictated by Roosevelt, or by Steel Trust Perkins, or is the Omaha promoter jut a mind-reader running wild? ernorshlp of North Carolina was that In which Judgo Settle ran against him. They stumped the state In Joint de bate, AJ1 tho white Democrats turned out to hear Vnnce, and all the colored Republicans to hear Settle On ono occasion, Vance was informed that somo young ladles desired to testify their dovotion to tho Democratic party by kissing tho Democratic candldato for governor. Nothing loth, Vanco de scended frpm tho platform and kissed a dozen or so of tho young beauties, and then paused long enough to turn nround townrd his competitor and shout: "Settle, I'm kissing my girls; now klBS yourBl" When ho married tho second time, ho said to his wife on their wedding-day: "My dear, I'm n stubborn fellow, and you may nntlci pato trouble. Now, In tho beginning, while I am submissive. I want to givo you ono piece of advice. If you follow It, wo'Il get on mighty well. It Is this: Mnko mo do Just as I darned please." A newspaper man, who was about Etnrtlng for a rather out-of-the-way portion of Vnnco's own Btate, was asking him ono day what kind of ac commodation ho wns likely to find. "Thoy'll givo you some of their fried hog and eggs," tho senator replied. "That's better than nothing," Bald tho newspaper man. "I don't know 1 don't know," tho senator answered, In a dubious tone; "I've tried both." v' PRINTING ONCE IN DISFAVOR Followers of the Art Have Been Known to Expiate Their "Crimes" on the Gallows. On the lBth of July, 1CC0, Martin Lhommc, ono of two who were hanged In tho Placo Maubert by tho decree of the parliament, suffered because he had published a writing entitled "Epistro envoyeo nu tlgre de la Prance" (A letter directed against the Tiger of Franco), a satire directed against tho cardinal of Lorraine, then all powerful, which had probably been Imprinted nt Daslo In Switzerland, or Strasburg, Germany. The culprit, ac cording to tho historian Do Thou, was a poor llttlo bookseller, a nntlvo of Rouen. Whllo ho wnB waiting nt tho gibbet, Bays Charles YlnsIov Hall In tho National Magazine, ono of his fol low countrymen, coming Into Paris on Business, saw lilm on his way nnd rocognlzed him. "Then," Bays Regnler do la Planche, "not knowing why ho was condemned to death, ho alighted from his liorso at a neighboring hes tolry, and, Ecclng tho people very angry ngalnst tho unfortunate man, cried to thorn, "Eh, what, my friends, Is It not enough that ho dies? Leave mm to the executioner. Would you like to torment him raoro than his sen tence demands?' They considered the Norman's pity misplaced. Ho was forthwith arrested, Judged and hanged four days later without any form of process In tho same fatal Placo Maubert." THE OLIVER GANG PLOW Promoters of Spirituality. Tho old adage In regard to tho way to a man's heart Is regarded by somo persons as a libel on masculine hu manity, but Deacon Sampson of Cran ston evidently did not regard It In that light. Ho went much farther than the adage, and was willing to express his opinion at any time when It seemed best. When tho members of the Central church were discussing the best way to Interest the young people of the town and bring them into touch with church affairs, Deacon 8ampson spoke his word. "I believe In meetings," he said firmly; "nobody believes In 'em more, and nobody attends 'em more thnn I do, but along with the meetings I don't know of anything that promotes spiritual growth more'n strawberry socials nnd oyster suppers, each ac cording to Its season." Youth's Companion. Meteor's Rings. In tho entrnnco to the American MuBeum or Natural History In New York stands a lnrgo meteor brought to that city and presented to the museum by tho Peary Expedition company. To handle the immense mass of metal and Btono large Iron hooks and rings were mado fast nt several places. "Tho other day," said a museum guard, "a young New Yorker about seven yenrB old stood with bis moth er admiring tho exhibit. The mother read the description, saying that this came from another planet and was hurled through space, finally landing In tho arctic regions." "Mamma," 'asked tho little Knicker bocker, "was that stone hung to the other planet by those rings?" Policeman's Novel Excuse. Policemen on trial at headquarters are apt at excuses, says the New York Sun. Former Inspector Williams used to tell of nn officer who was charged with having lost his whistle. When asked to explain ho said. "You Boe, I went homo last night and put my whis tlo on tho table. I turned round and, bless me, ono of my kids was choking and nearly black In tho face. You Beo commissioner, he'd swallowed tho whistle?" "Is he dead?" asked the sympathetic commissioner, "No, sir," was tho reply. "He isn't dead, but no's got tho whooping cough, nnd now every tlmo ho coughs tho whistle blows and tho cop on the post comes running". s k LM Come In And See It k L i9tfS9fSi9i3'ii f- i,-,,---" -------,- -"------------ W to to m ' m to m to m to to m to to m m to m to to m to m to to to to to to to We Are Showing the Largest Line of KITCHEN CABINETS Ever Shown in Red Cloud Let Us Show You The Makes of Four Factories Including "The Hoosier" All Of The Phones A.
